Passenger side air vent

[my996]

My passenger side air vent is missing the vertical rib that control all the little louvers that control the direction of air flow. Someone let me have their old one (some kind). I have taken my air vent out of the P-car. How do I separate the outer part from the inner. I have separated the 2 tabs that I can see but cannot find any others. It still in not coming apart. Any suggestions? - If a pic if needed, I can post. LMK. Thanks

Loren, I read this thread. I understand how to remove the air vent, what I am asking is, once I have taken the air vent out, how do I take it apart so I can swap some pieces with another vent? Thanks for the fast reply.

I have placed black arrows on the parts that I think I need to seperate in order to access the vertical rib as described above. The pink arrows point to 2 tabs that I can seperate. Even when I do this, the two parts do not come apart. What am I missing?

Okay, I gave you the wrong post - try this one http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=5628

Thanks Loren. That thread helped but it did not describe how to take the two pieces apart. For future reference, if anyone wants to know, I detached the two tabs (pink arrows above) and then firmly pulled the two pieces apart. The opposite side of the housing has 2 tabs as well. They just pull apart once the first 2 are released.
